Stake Poker August Madness

August is the 8th month, so Stake Poker is doing everything in eights. An $8 buy-in. An $80,000 guaranteed prize pool. And a bounty on every single head in the room. That's ten thousand times your buy-in sitting on the table, plus instant cash every time you send someone to the rail. Eight dollars. Eighty grand. Absolute madness.

How It Works:

1. Head to the Poker lobby on Stake.com and find the Stake Poker August Madness — Sunday August 30rd , 17:00 UTC.

2. Buy in for just $8.

3. It's a Progressive Knockout, so every player carries a bounty. Knock someone out and half their bounty is paid to you instantly — the other half goes straight onto your own head, making you a bigger and bigger target as you climb.

4. Outlast the field to take your share of the $80,000 guaranteed prize pool.

5. Seats are first come, first served, 10,000 player capacity.
